Bayern Munich vs Lyon odds, stats and recommended bets

Rarely has a Champions League League semi-final produced such a one-sided market - but rarely has a team as powerful and as in form as Bayern Munich faced an outsider like Lyon at this stage of Europe's premier competition.

The French side which upset Manchester City are 10/1 to beat Bayern . Or put another way Bayern are 2/9 to win in 90 minutes ... yes, you have to stake almost a tenner to win back just £2 such is Hansi Flick's side's dominance.

It's difficult to argue with those odds.

The 8-2 annihilation of Barcelona wasn't a one-off. Bayern have now won 19 straight matches and are unbeaten in 28 - winning 27 of them.

And this hasn't been disciplined, resolute, grind em down football, Bayern are blowing teams away with a brand of free-flowing football usually associated with the side they demolished in the quarter-finals.

Post lockdown Bayern have scored 45 goals in 13 games, failing to score at least twice on only two occasions. They have hammered at least four goals on seven occasions – including in each of their last four outings.

It's real we'll score more than you stuff.

At the other end Bayern have kept only five clean sheets and their 13 post-lockdown matches have yielded 57 goals – an average of 4.38 per game.

As a result Bayern to win and Both Teams To Score has to be a top tip at 13/10 with thepools.com.

Bayern are the same price to cover a -2 goals handicap which looks fair.

Thepools.com also offers a number of Featured Bets.

BTTS and 11 or more corners is 5/2 but while Bayern are one of Europe's most accomplished corner winners - but while they won the corner count 9-6 against Barcelona and 9-1 against Spurs, the two clashes with Chelsea were surprisingly low - 4-3 and 5-3 in Bayern's favour.

That market is one to swerve, unlike Robert Lewandowski's anytime scorer odds which are 2/5 for a reason.

The Poland captain has found the net in 21 of his past 23 appearances! Lewandowski is 9/5 to score the first goal, but tends to score later in games.
